Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup tahini (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes and coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Skewer the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.

- Create Your Platter: Serve grilled kebabs on a platter with tahini and fresh vegetables.
